Broberg (personal) practice with the team ahead of Tuesday's games versus Utah, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Broberg will return to the lineup after missing just one game while attending to a personal matter. In 67 games this year, the 23-year-old defenseman has set career highs in goals (eight), assists (21) and shots (97) and figures to offer decent fantasy value in the playoffs while playing in a top-four role.

Rotowire
Broberg notched an assist and five blocked shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Jets.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Best game of season Tuesday
Rotowire
Broberg notched one goal, three assists, a hit, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 win over Montreal.
Broberg recorded his fourth multi-point game of the season Tuesday, but this outing was his best performance of the entire campaign, with the 23-year-old defender getting a hand in four of the team's six goals. Broberg continues to have a career-best season in his fourth year in the league, and he's up to 19 helpers and 27 total points across 60 appearances. He's not much of a fantasy option in most formats, particularly due to his role in the second defensive pairing, but he's getting the job done this season and is certainly turning heads with his play for a red-hot St. Louis team that has won seven games in a row.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Scores OT winner
Rotowire
Broberg netted the game-winning goal in overtime, tallied three shots on net and blocked three shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
With just over a minute remaining in Thursday's extra period, Broberg tallied his second game-winning goal of the season. Overall, the 23-year-old defenseman is up to seven goals, 22 points, 87 shots on net and 75 blocks in 57 appearances this season. Thursday's game-winner ended a nine-game drought without a goal for Broberg, who now has four markers since early February. He also received a team-high 24:57 of ice time, which highlights the level of trust head coach Jim Montgomery has in his blueliner. While Broberg has a small amount of value in deeper leagues, he has a bright future ahead and has settled in nicely on the Blues' second defensive pairing. If he can get hot down the stretch, however, he is worth a look in some formats with his ice time at even strength and on the second power-play unit.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Notches helper in loss
Rotowire
Broberg put up an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Stars.
Broberg has picked up four points (two goals, two assists) over his last four games. The defenseman appears to have regained some momentum on offense after the 4 Nations Face-Off break -- prior to the pause, he had been limited to three points over a 17-game span since the start of January. The 23-year-old is up to 21 points, 71 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 49 appearances. He's not currently in a power-play role, so he has a fairly low ceiling on offense.

Rotowire
Broberg (undisclosed) will be in the lineup against the Golden Knights on Thursday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
Broberg suffered an injury at Wednesday's practice session but appears to be no worse for the wear. With the blueliner suiting up versus Vegas, he will look to end an 11-game goal drought during which he recorded just two helpers to go with 18 shots, 10 blocks and five hits.

Broberg is being evaluated by the Blues' medical team after leaving Wednesday's practice session early, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Broberg is currently stuck in a 10-game goal drought during which he registered two assists, 17 shots and eight blocks while averaging 19:36 of ice time. Despite his recent slump, the 23-year-old blueliner has already set new personal bests in goals (three), assists (12) and shots (47). If Broberg does miss any time, Scott Perunovich figures to step into the lineup.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Scores in win
Rotowire
Broberg scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 7-4 win over the Predators.
Broberg ended his eight-game point drought with the second-period tally, which ended up being the game-winner. The 23-year-old defenseman hadn't scored since Oct. 24, though he missed most of November due to a knee injury. For the season, he has three goals, 13 points, 29 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-7 rating over 24 appearances in a breakout campaign. Broberg's recent struggles have endangered his chances of finding offense in the long run, as he has lost out on a power-play role to Cam Fowler.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Game-time decision Friday
Rotowire
Broberg (illness) will be a game-time decision in Florida on Friday, Lou Korac of The Hockey News reports.
Broberg was a late scratch Thursday in Tampa Bay, and his status for Friday's tilt is in question. Broberg has two goals and 10 assists over 21 contests this season. Should Broberg be scratched, Tyler Tucker will once again draw into the lineup.

Rotowire
Broberg notched two assists and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.
Broberg has three helpers over three games since he returned from a knee injury.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Gathers helper
Rotowire
Broberg posted an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
This was Broberg's second game back from a knee injury. The 23-year-old defenseman has stepped right back into a top-four role, and he was alongside Colton Parayko on the top pairing Tuesday. Broberg has 10 points, 15 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 13 hits and a plus-6 rating over 14 appearances. He's already enjoyed a career year on offense and should be a solid player to roster in fantasy the rest of the way, and that'll be especially true as long as Justin Faulk (upper body) is out of action.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Ahead of schedule
Rotowire
Broberg (lower body) is skating and believed to be ahead of schedule in his recovery, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Wednesday.
Broberg, who hasn't played since Nov. 2, was originally projected to miss 4-6 weeks. It's not clear how much his timetable has changed, but perhaps he'll be in the lineup before the end of November. He has two goals and nine points in 12 outings in 2024-25. The Blues will certainly be grateful for the good news on the injury front given the challenges they've endured on the blue line. Nick Leddy (lower body) and Pierre-Olivier Joseph (lower body) are also on the shelf, and Torey Krug (ankle) isn't expected to play at all this season.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Set for 4-6 week absence
Rotowire
Broberg (lower body) will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports Monday.
Given Broberg's recovery timeline, he should be a strong candidate for injured reserve and could even be designated for long-term injured reserve if the Blues need the cap space. Prior to getting hurt, the 23-year-old Swede was off to an incredible start to the 2024-25 campaign with nine points in 12 games -- already having topped his career-best eight points recorded with the Oilers over 46 contests back in 2022-23. In Broberg's stead, Pierre-Olivier Joseph and Scott Perunovich should both see an uptick in playing time.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Nabs power-play assist
Rotowire
Broberg logged a power-play assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the Senators.
The helper was Broberg's first power-play point of the campaign. He saw 2:56 with the man advantage in Tuesday's game, but he's regularly played second fiddle to Justin Faulk for power-play time. It hasn't hindered Broberg yet -- through 10 games, he's already matched his career high with eight points while adding nine shots on net, 10 hits, 10 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-5 rating in a top-four role.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Point streak up to six games
Rotowire
Broberg logged an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.
Broberg is one of nine defensemen in NHL history to begin his time with a new franchise with a point streak of at least six games. The blueliner has a goal, five assists, seven shots on net, six hits, three blocked shots and a plus-6 rating this season. Broberg has quickly taken to a top-four role with power-play time, and while the offense won't last all year, he's definitely played well enough to be worth consideration in fantasy.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Adds helper Friday
Rotowire
Broberg notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Broberg has a goal, two assists, five shots on net and a plus-2 rating over three contests to begin the season. It's taken little time for Broberg to settle into a top-four role with the Blues -- he's averaged 19:27 of ice time per game. The 23-year-old blueliner entered this season with a total of 13 points over 81 appearances, but he's well on his way to enjoying a breakout campaign.
